The Fall of Moria

A final project of the RPG Writing Workshop class, The Fall of Moria is a 100-page 4-act TRPG story letting 4 players play as dwarves of Moria, investigate the darkest scheme in dwarven history, and fight against the disastrous doom. As one of the four writers, I wrote Act III (middle build two), which contains 5 fundamental story movements (Inciting Incident, Complications, Crisis, Climax, and Resolution). I also designed 2 boss encounters to enrich gameplay and wrote a screenplay-format dialogue scene to depict the character's growth.

Story Overview

The dwarves of Durin's Folk have prospered under the Misty Mountains for thousands of years. But as they expanded, eventually, in TA 1980, mysterious earthquakes started emerging from the deep of the mines. 4 friends from their childhood - a blacksmith, 2 retired soldiers, and a noble - came together again and formed a squad to investigate the incidents. As they dug deeper, an unexplainable mighty power of evil became unveiled, and a scheme of a corrupt betrayer unfolded. Kings lost, sacrifices made, and blood wasted - what would they do to stop the disaster?
